Cesar Chavez:
 * Organized Califoria grape pickers into the 1st effective and enduring migrant worker union in the United States.
 * Because his parents were farm workers, he recieved minimal education growing up on many farms.
 * He dropped out of school in 7th grade in order to work full time in the feilds, reason why many mexicans dropped out of school at such a young age
 * Chavez became general director of the CSO (Comunity Service Organization) in 1958, but grew increasingly dissatisfied as the CSO attracted more and more middle-class liberals and fewer and fewer poor farm workers.
 * The nonviolent campaign Chavez organized and the publicity provided by his middle-class liberal and labor union allies succeeded in forcing many of the wine grape growers to capitulate within a year.
 * The economic hardship that the boycott had imposed upon the growers slowly eroded their opposition to recognizing and negotiating with the UFW (United Farm Workers).
 * On April 1, 1970 they signed the nation's first table grape labor contract, which provided for a wage increase, provision for health insurance, and regulations prohibiting the use of certain pesticides.
 * He died in his sleep on April 23, 1993

//**Political Issues:**//

 * A critical aspect of the Chicano fight for civil rights is its effort to participate more fully in the U.S. political process when historically they were disadvantaged and powerless.

= Chicano Literature = = = __Tomás Rivera__ wrote, from one of his books: //"There was always someone// //[in the camps]// //who knew the old traditional stories. . . . Then//  //there were always those who acted out movies,//  //told about different parts of the world and//  //about Aladdin and his magic lamp. An oral//  //literature was, in that way, developed in the//  //migrant camps.

Quinto Sol is a publishing company, who’s main goal was bringing Chicano literature to the forefront of American culture and uniting all Chicanos in the United States. It was founded in 1967 by Octavio I. Romano and from 1970–1972, offered the Premio Quinto Sol literary prize to: Tomás Rivera, Rudolfo Anaya, and Rolando Hinojosa, each of whom is now considered a major literary voice. Teaming up with these 3 authors helped with a critical stage during the Chicano movement. After a fourth award, Quinto Sol divided into two separate publishers, Editorial Justa and Tonatiuh International.
